Cinco

How are my babies almost 5! Time has flown by...

It is so fun to be excited for the next stage in life, but as I see how fast time flies, I want to stop it, and embrace every second with these guys!

It was a beautiful day in Salem on Monday, so we got all dressed up and went downtown for a little 5 year photo shoot.

It was fun and BEAUTIFUL!
Definitely a fun little outing.

There are so many cool backdrops in Salem...
Perfect for our little family!



When will I be sick of taking pictures of them in red and with hearts? I don't know if I ever will. I kept telling myself... "just their first birthday, when they don't know any different" but right now they LOVE that their birthday is Valentine's Day, and so I just will love it with them!
They think the whole world celebrates their birthday, and I think it is cute.

(Thanks Laura for the tic tac toe idea!)

Berkleigh loves to tease Merrick with "love" things.
She uses funny girlie language (and in a southern accent) that makes Merrick blush.




Even though he blushes, I know he just adores Berkleigh and her quirkiness. 

I love how these pictures turned out. I think their personalities really show through.
Thanks mom for the birthday outfits.

Those pictures are so cute! Love the dress :) I love the banner with the 5. I wish I would have done something like that with Bryn's 3-year pictures to show the age.

Love these pictures! I can't believe how grown up they look!

Adorable! I think the one of them playing tic tac toe is my favorite shot. B's dress is super cute! How did you pull this off with a baby is my question? You never cease to amaze me.

Jenn!! M and B are so stinking adorable! You're a good photographer, too. Um, I know I'm not on the right post, but I LOVE Quincy's birth announcement--what a doll. We miss you down here! Read on fb you weren't feeling well...hope you get better; being a sick mom is the pits! Last, I want to steal your rock idea and do it down here...don't worry though, I'm not nearly as motivated as you are, so it prob won't happen! :)

These are darling!! Kinda makes me want twins...(then I think about the initial exhaustion--it's probably not just initial exhaustion either). They are lucky to have each other and you!

Shari said...
